Many of us know that the construction of the Erie Canal was hailed as one of the greatest architectural feats ever seen, but did you know that it dramatically changed what we eat and how we grow it? From agriculture to industry, the canal's construction brought about sweeping changes. Join the Arkell Museum's Curator of Education & Public Engagement Jenna Peterson Riley for an exploration of these changes, from paper bags to Beech-Nut and beyond!

This program is free but donations are welcome. For more information, please contact Curator of Education & Public Engagement Jenna Peterson Riley at jriley@arkellmuseum.org or (518) 673-2314 x 113.
